AMAZING morning at the beach, Manila‼ ❤️🧡💛☀️

Yesssssss ... Habagat Season is still wrecking havoc❗... and another typhoon will be in our vicinity these coming days ... but WE JUST WON'T QUIT FIGHTING‼ 😎😁☀️

Both Manila Bay and the beach were blessed with the presence of the Windows of Blessing in Christ International Ministry, Men’s Ministry Group annnnnnnd the Mandaluyong Humanitarian Eagles Club (facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088391343774)‼ ☀️🌊🌴⛱

Not only did these two groups show up on time, but they did the WORK❗️— Manila! THEY WORKED‼️‼️‼️ Sooooooometimes groups show up late, work lazily for 20-30 minutes (spending most of their time taking selfies) ... but what does Jesus teach about forgiveness and judgment❓... haha ... okaaaaaay ... BUT THIS Ministry Group and THIS Eagles Club ... THEY DID THE LORD'S WORK‼️‼️‼️

Manila Bay Beach has TWO MAJOR dates coming up in September — Friday, September 8th and ESPECIALLY the International Coastal Cleanup date on September 16th‼️ ❤️🧡💛☀️

It's important sometimes to go out alone, to sit along a shoreline ☀️🌊🌴⛱ — not with a smartphone, not with a companion, but by yourself —🧍— and observe the crashing of the waves, the flight of the seabirds, the movement of the fish, and hear your own thoughts as they chase each other across the space of your mind.

If you are able to be alone and watch and experience these things, then you will discover extraordinary riches which no government can tax, no human agency can corrupt, and which can never be destroyed.

Unless someone is still a hateful beach hater full of hate (and whhhhhyy⁉️ ❤️😎😇😁 Haha — it's all LOOOOOOVE 😍), NOBODY wants to see pictures of a shoreline covered in garbage (transported by storm surge waves) — I knoooooow‼️

So, let's simply NOT ❌ focus on the garbage, and instead, let's focus on the HEROES who showed up to both help change the mindset and help restore beauty and cleanliness to the beach — WHO❓😎😇😍

Thaaaaaaank you to the Philippine National Police's Special Action Force ‼️

Thanks to the Manila Aduana Professional Eagles Club❗️

Salamaaaaaaat to the Sigma Lambda Phi National Capital Region Council (facebook.com/profile.php?id=100080129903635&mibextid=ZbWKwL) ‼️

YOU ARE ALL HEROES❗️😎😇😍 You are society's TRUEST heroes‼️

But hayysst ... see those three images of garbage (from this morning), Manila❓The presence of garbage is NOT ❌ the fault of Habagat Season or any storm surge nor is it a result of the beach ... it is because of us.

WE are the problem ... and only WE can solve it.

Manila Bay Beach has always promised honesty, integrity and reality from the beach. So here they are — HONESTY, INTEGRITY and REALITY: Manila 🏢❤️ ... the beach NEEEEEEDS you.

To those who are anti-beach, these images are no reason to celebrate.

These images are also no reason for beach lovers and supporters to feel sad and/or humbled ... not regarding the beach, at least.

Some — the beach haters — might likely say — without logic — regarding these images: "See ... the garbage is there because of ... um ... because of the beach!"

They would be completely and embarrassingly wrong.

Supporters of the beach might simply say — without thinking it through properly — regarding these images: "The garbage is only on the beach because of ... um ... because of the storm surge! It's Habagat Season!"

They would also be wrong ... mostly.

The garbage — that is currently on the beach — has nothing to do with the beach.

Absolutely nothing. NOTHING. Wala. Zero. Zilch.

The garbage is on the beach MOSTLY because of a terrible mindset regarding improper trash disposal (yes, the influence of the storm surge does play a role in the presence of the garbage, but it is NOT the core cause ... it is only the transport) ... and, yes, of course, less-than-perfect garbage removal strategies.

But let's start where the bulk of the blame lies ... us.

You. Me. Our friends. Our families. Our neighbors. Nationwide. All of us. We are to blame. Us. We did this. If you don't look in the mirror and take personal responsibility on a sliding-scale — that could vary dramatically — you are likely being dishonest ... maybe innocently (I'll, of course, allow for that possibility); however, each and every one of us is responsible. It MUST be that way. EVERYONE must share in the responsibility to solve this nationwide tragedy.

Solving this problem may not be easy — especially in real-life practice — but the list (the main focus) is really — incredibly — short and simple:

1️⃣ Properly dispose of any and all trash, and
2️⃣ Volunteer to help clean up your immediate community.

That's it. 😎😍

But will you do it? Will your friends do it? Will your families? Will your neighbors?

If YOUR answer is "Yes‼️" — whether you are a beach-hater or a beach-supporter (because it is NOT about the beach!) — message me at Manila Bay Beach annnnnnnnnnnd LET'S GET TO WORK❗️‼️ 😁😁

Sooooo, Manila ... 🏢❤ Hi. 🙂

As you may have heard, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has expressed deep concern over the “level of science and level of evaluation” — reading between the lines: low? — that are currently available concerning the multiple reclamation projects 🏢🏬🏣🏤🏥🏦🏨💒🏛 in Manila Bay.

As a result of this apparent dissatisfaction, the DENR is conducting a “cumulative impact assessment” ☑️ of all reclamation projects in Manila Bay. ☀️🌊

“Ang nangyari po kasi in the past, ang evaluation po ng mga projects na ito have been on an individual basis,” Secretary Toni Yulo-Loyzaga said a few weeks ago. (What’s happened in the past is that the evaluation of these projects had been on an individual 🧍‍♂️basis.)

What that all means is that basically President Marcos is allowing the DENR time to review the projects COLLECTIVELY 👫🧍🧍‍♂️👬🧍‍♀️👫🧍‍♂️👭🧍‍♀️👫🧍‍♂️👫 ... culminating in a global/cumulative impact assessment.

Already from this assessment, the DENR has flagged ❌ one party for potential non-compliance with government regulations (the party and the suspected non-compliance have not been revealed), and from this news, multiple stakeholders have urged President Marcos to unconditionally revoke all Environmental Compliance Certificates (ECCs) issued for Manila Bay reclamation projects.

Hence, the assessment.

Whether you are in favor of or against the reclamation projects in Manila Bay, this is VERY welcome news. Manila Bay Beach commends the DENR’s determination to assess the overall impact of these reclamation projects. 😎😇😁😍
